Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1949 volume:

PUBLISHED BY ifr... Apwircfi To the spirit of gay adventure and staunch determination typical of the ’49ers of old, we proudly dedicate this yearbook. A single century has passed since our forefathers braved the treacherous unknown and pushed on to brighter horizons in their search for gold. A full century—in which our progress has been measured by radios, telephones, airplanes, and countless other modern inventions which are characteristic of our present atomic age. In 1849, each individual, as he sought his share of the wealth, was forced to surmount innumerable obstacles to achieve his goal. Many en thusiastic men were never to reach California; yet these same men were to become the founders of new settlements, thereby broadening and advancing the spread of civilization in our country. We, too, are ’49ers. We, too, are possessed with the same spirit that obsessed our ancestors, and we, too, are seeking wealth. Yet, we are striving for a wealth more precious than gold—an enduring, satisfying wealth in which we may find happiness, health, and above all peace. Many of us will also be attracted by seemingly more important things. Yet, there will be a significant few who will struggle on, fighting against every obstacle until the goal is attained. This ’49er, our cheerful, wizened character, is going to escort you through the pages of this book, which reflect our gay moments along with our serious ones. Six miles from Philadelphia’s City Hall is a progressive and fast ex- panding business section known as Sixty-Ninth Street. Around this core covering an area of 7x l square miles, is the township of Upper Darby. In this community arc about 75,000 people, brought within easy reach of Philadelphia and outlying residential sections by an extensive trans- portation network. Upper Darby has seen an almost phenomenal growth in population within the last ten years, and day by day new measures are being taken to provide for this increase. The well-known Hi-Top Country Club was converted into a colony of duplex apartments in the fall of this year. Week by week lots are dis- appearing to make way for construction work. Plans are being prepared for a new high school, as well as for several new grade schools. The Sixty- Ninth Street business section is expanding, too, and now extends up Long Lane. Throughout Upper Darby and the surrounding vicinities new settle- ments are cropping up—proof of progress in an ever-progressive world. - Seven COLLEGE Op all the courses that the high school offers, the College Preparatory Course enrolls over half the student body. The scientific section is the most popular part of this course. It prepares the student for nursing, engineering, medicine, and other scientific jobs. Experience is obtained from working in the laboratory and by seeing actual specimens. Besides the sciences, four years of English are required and some students take at least one foreign language. All scientific students are required to take two years of algebra and one year of plane geometry. PREPARATORY The Academic Course is especially designed for those who plan to further their education in accredited colleges, specializing in law, theology, education, social work, and the like. Requirements for completing this course include history, foreign languages, English, with a sprinkling of mathematics and science. Through their participation in a course composed of such a variety of subjects, students are encouraged to cultivate an interest and knowledge in many fields to prepare for living in a cultural and practical world. COMM Upper Darby can be justly proud of its Commercial Course. Approxi- mately one-third of the student body elect one of the curricula of this course. The course offers these curricula: General Business, Accounting, Salesmanship, Stenography, and Distributive Education. This specialisation actually begins in the eleventh grade. In the ninth grade, where a choice is first made of the course one is to follow, all Commercial students take Commercial Arithmetic and Junior Business Training. In the tenth grade, all arc required to take Bookkeeping I. Those who find Bookkeeping to their liking may go on with the Accounting Course. Not many of the students choose to continue this rigorous course. Many of the girls and a very few boys take up the Steno- graphic Course. Stenography itself is a difficult and time-consuming subject. One can always identify a Stenographic student by her constant application to her notebook. She uses every spare minute to keep up with her practice. E RCIAL The persons taking this course are qualified to become A-l stenographers. The hope of every girl, of course, is to become a private secretary. Other students elect Salesmanship. Here they are schooled in the rudiments of the selling business. They study Merchandise, Sales and Advertising, Commercial Law and Office Machines, Retail Selling, and other pertinent subjects. Those who feel that they wish to prepare for General Office work elect the General Business Course. At the end of the eleventh year, students are permitted to elect Distributive Education. Students other than Commercial ones may elect this course. These boys and girls, numbering usually between twenty'five and thirty, spend approximately half their time in class work and half in some actual job. Both their class room instruction and their on-the'job training is directed by Mr. Joseph Rhile. Upper Darby boasts one of the most inclusive and largest Commercial Courses in the suburbs. ARTS The Arts and Crafts course is designed to meet the needs of practical minded students who wish to have an education that will fit them for employ ment in a particular trade or profession immediately upon graduation from high school. The course has five divisions including agriculture, metal and wood skills, music, home economics, and art. CRAFTS The student may choose any one of this group, and by so doing can be assured of getting useful knowledge in his chosen field. In addition to his specialized work, the Arts and Crafts student must carry a minimum of six hours of work in subjects which are directly related to his vocation. Required subjects included in the curriculum during the three years on the hill are English, general and American history, applied mathematics, economic biology, applied science, and consumer problems.

BOARD OF EDUCATION We gratefully acknowledge the work of the members of the School Board, who have unselfishly devoted so much of their time to the betterment of the Upper Darby school system. During this past year their keynote has been Build! Build!! Build!!! The Board condemned ground on which to build three grade schools, and architects are now busily working on the plans for these schools, in addition to completing the plans for the long-awaited addition to our high school. These plans arc expected to include modern science laboratories, new class- rooms, a new library, gymnasium and cafeteria. The Board has also drawn up and adopted salary sched- ules for the professional and non-professional employees. These programs provide definite steps for salary increases based on experience and education. The work accomplished during this past year by our School Board assures us that during the years that lie ahead, we shall be proud to say, “I am an Upper Darby graduate.” SUPERINTENDENT Few of us enjoy direct contact with Mr. John H. Tyson, superintendent of schools, but those who do can see in his pleasant smile and quiet dignity a concern for all high school students. His friendly and affable “Well, how is it going today? has become a familiar lunchtime greeting to countless Upiditcs. His interest in Upper Darby youth is plainly evident in the projects he has supported. Mr. Tyson has been instrumental in planning for a bigger and better high school to accommodate students. In addition to his administrative duties at Upper Darby, Mr. Tyson has as- sumed an important position in the community. Early this year he was appointed chairman of the New Forum Series, which has been planned to promote greater understanding of world problems. He has included in this program, at various times throughout the year, high school speakers in an attempt to learn the feeling of youth with regard to important issues. The positions to which Mr. Tyson has been elected in state organizations show the esteem in which he is held in the Commonwealth. MR. JOHN H. TYSON PRINCIPAL DR. JAMES E. NANCARROW As OUR LAST year of high school draws to a close, one man in particular comes to mind in our long list of pleasant associations—our principal, Dr. James E. Nancarrow. He has gained the confidence and respect of all through his interest and participa tion in school activities. We recall his enthusiasm at the Lower Mcrion football game, and his oft- quoted comment, There's no school I'd rather beat than Lower Merion' ... the vigor with which he threw the baseball at the first game of the season . . . his hearty laughter, booming voice and funny stories. Glancing at the more serious side of his nature, we once again remember his sincerity in praising our carol singing the day preceding the Christmas vaca- tion, and the pride with which he spoke of the school's standing locally and nationally. He has always made us want to bring more glory and honor to Upper Darby by setting his own support of our dramatic, musical and publication activities as an example. The high ideals with which Dr. Nancarrow inspired us have not only been characteristic of Purple and Gold tradition but of American prin- ciples as well. The pause that refreshes.

MEMORIAM WARREN A. BROSIUS The staff of the Oak respectfully dedicates this page to Warren A. Brosius, who served as the last principal (1917-1918) in the little red school house and con- tinued as head of the mathematics department in the present building until his sudden death in his classroom, December 9, 1948. Mr. Brosius watched the growth of Upper Darby High School in the intervening years, and by his unselfish service and his unquestionable loyalty helped build its prestige as it took its place among the larger suburban schools. In a memorial service following Mr. Brosius's death, Ann Brenner, a senior, paid tribute to his “straight forwardness and simplicity” and to his “influence over many classes of boys and girls who benefited greatly by his patient teaching.” Superintendent Tyson expressed his appreciation of Mr. Brosius’s thirty-one years of service in Upper Darby High School as one of those teachers whose dominant and compelling interests in life have been devoted so completely to the welfare and growth of this institution.” The Board of School Directors of Upper Darby Township in a resolution expressed “deep appreciation for Mr. Brosius’s long period of faithful service; for his unswerving loyalty; dependability and regular attendance for more than thirty years; for his quiet modesty and courtesy; for the unusual humility with which he approached any situation; and for his sympathetic interest in the welfare of young people.” Twenty-one Art and Mis Kingsley are synonymous . . .

OFF GUARD CAFETERIA Upon entering the kitchen of the cafeteria, one is immediately struck by its friendly atmosphere. It is difficult to associate specific tasks with each of the cafeteria workers for, as Mrs. Savanesc, a new addition to the staff comments, “Everyone docs everything. The government sale of subsidized lunches, enabling students to buy a healthful platter for twenty'two cents, has proved even more popular this year than in the past two years. The increase in luncheon sales has been due in part to the practice of printing weekly menus in The Acorn, according to the cafeteria supervisor, Mrs. Snyder. The old blackboard, which formerly held the day's menu, was replaced by a green one which cuts the glare. MAINTENANCE The tremendous task of keeping the high school clean and in good repair is taken care of by a staff of eight workers under the direction of Charles Butterworth, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Their work consists of repairing fixtures, regulating the heat, removing snow from the walks in winter, and performing count' less other odd jobs that might command their attention. Three rings of the office bell have become the recognized signal for janitorial assistance, and can be heard often throughout the school day. At the ringing of this bell, Dave Lewis, head janitor, may be seen hurrying to the office. His help may be needed to saw a re- calcitrant lock off a locker, chase a mouse from a frightened teacher's closet, or repair a broken shade. It's all in the day's work. SECRETARIES Important links in the high school set-up are the secretaries who help to make life on the hill run more smoothly. Their numerous tasks include keeping an accurate record of enrollments, grades, courses, the personal history of each individual student, inventory, and order supplies, answering parents' inquiries, making statistical reports, receiving telephone calls, and helping to mimeograph copies of notices of school events and activities. In addition, secretaries are called upon to be a kind of weather bureau, traffic court, lost and found department, mother's helper bureau, welcome stranger department, and bureau of missing persons. While there are many frantic moments in a secretary's life, there are few dull ones.

CADETS Each year a group of cadet teachers joins the high school staff for a period of one semester of classroom observation and teaching. These cadets represent a number of colleges in Philadelphia and its suburbs. In September the cadet teachers numbered 25; during the second semester this figure was decreased to 15. These men and women were students at the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel Institute of Technology, West Chester State Teachers College, Villanova College, or Temple Univer- sity. Their preparation included a four-year college course in education, but before graduation, one semester of their senior year must be devoted to student teaching. The longest association with student teachers has been with those from the University of Pennsylvania, which has sent cadets to Upper Darby for a period of twenty years. Cadets are assigned to a critic teacher, and after a period of observation they assume the teaching of a class. They are with this class not longer than one report period, and then are assigned to another class on the teacher's roster. The cadet teacher, like the regular teacher, must arrive at eight-thirty in the morning, and usually leaves at three in the afternoon. His duties are many, including teaching, supervision of make-up classes, remedial work with pupils, recording marks, and marking papers. In addition, one period a day is scheduled for a non-teaching assignment, such as super- vision of the attendance department and assistance in the infirmary or library.

Purple and Gold Porkpie hats and yellow soft lead pencils were sold to raise funds for store operation. Clean-up squads from Student Council helped improve the appearance of the athletic field, and even inaugurated a system to improve cafeteria conditions. This ar- rangement included the services of eight volunteer workers to patrol the lunchroom and check the in- difference of students failing to replace eating uten- sils or to dispose of paper. A new function was given to the club committee, —that of working in cooperation with the faculty guidance committee. The name of this committee has subsequently been changed to the Club-Guidance Committee. The work of this group has been to act as escorts to new students and librarians in the college catalogue department. The Scholarship Com- mittee, too, has proved especially active. First semester work included the building up of scholar- ship recognition through the posting and announce- ment of the names of distinguished honor roll stu- dents. Second semester activity, however, was directed toward eliminating ill-feeling caused by honor roll ratings. Upper Darby was represented at Council Associa- tion meetings at Coatesville and Ridley Township high schools by members and advisers.

Full of poems, stories, essays, and illustrations, the Upi-Dah provided pleasurable moments for its readers and publication opportunities for its contributors. A sixteen-page parody on the Reader's Digest, which appeared in the January edition, proved to be especially popular because of its novel and humorous treatment. With something to satisfy the taste of each reader, the Upi-Dah brought an accolade of praise to editor Ann Bowman, adviser Miss Edith Gaukrodger, and the art and literary staffs. Forty With editor Diana Cavalk) and advisers Paul K. Noel and Mrs. Eleanor Kishbaugh at the helm, the staff of the 1949 Oak has endeavored to produce a verbal and pictorial record of high school life. The Oak has been the traditional name of the yearbook, stemming from a sentimental attachment to the oak tree that once graced the school grounds. It was struck by lightning in the late ”20”s, however, and has never been replaced. The close cooperation of the literary, art, photography, typing and business staffs has enabled The Oak to win All-American and first place honors frequently. It has served as a record of clubs, sports, drama, music and class activities, and includes data regarding faculty members and the entire graduating class. Sally Hinkle, art editor, and her capable staff have helped to make the ”49 yearbook an attractive and artistic one.

Whatever' in The Acorn, the town crier of Upper Darby High School! For twenty- one years The Acorn has been an important part of student life on the hill. It has also been considered a top notch newspaper throughout the nation: witness its long list of awards. The National Scholastic Press Association rated The Acorn All-American this year; the Pennsylvania Scholastic Press Association rated it first place; and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association gave it the top rating of Medalist. The Acorn also carried off a George H. Gallup award in national competition, and individual writing awards went to twenty-one of its reporters. The newspaper has been under the able supervision of Mrs. Carroll S. Slick for the past five years. Heading the editorial board for the 48-49 season was hard-working Henry Dimmler.

Dengler, the A Cappclla Choir this year proved that high school choirs are able to sing extremely difficult selections, if they have the proper enthusiasm and guidance. This group was chosen last spring by Dr. Dengler on the basis of a vocal test and membership in the Choral Club. The limelight this year was on the choir as it par- ticipated in the Convention of the Eastern Division of the National Music Educators, held in Baltimore, Mary- land. For two and a half months the choir diligently worked on a very difficult program of contemporary music. Re- wards were in order, though, for when March 9, finally arrived and the program was given, it was acclaimed the top ranking performance of the convention. The choir was further recompensed by a surprise visit to the United States Naval Academy. Here a program of contemporary and classical music was given. Besides presenting several radio broadcasts and making recordings, the choir appeared at Wanamaker's, Bywood Women’s Club, Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church, Drexel Hill United Presbyterian Church, University of Pennsyl- vania, Girard College and in many of Upper Darby's assemblies. Forty-five A4 au. U C auteur . 4 K Uto. tau e out {toice in Ifojice t44AAMu)f The Choral Club is one of Upper Darby High Schools largest organizations as well as one of its most active. This year it was composed of 492 voices, 78 boys and 414 girls. The overwhelming popularity and interest in the club is due to its capable director, Dr. Clyde R. Dengler. Among its numerous activities were two major concerts, the annual Christmas Concert and the Easter Concert. The Steel Pier Frolic was also produced under the auspices of the club. This year’s officers contributed a great deal to the Choral Club's successful year. Gene Magowan acted as president; Jackie Mathias, vice-president; Bob Spears, treas- urer; and Irene Schwietzer as secretary. ORCHESTRA U. D.’ orchestra, glad for a few minute ’ respite from practice to pose for their pic- ture; Director Haupt in a familiar rehearsal pose, ready to call forth sweet music (he hopes). Once again under the baton of Mr. David D. M. Haupt, UD's orchestra showed considerable improvement over recent years. Building around the small nucleus that remained after last year's graduation, Mr. Haupt took a great many inexperienced players and molded them into a harmonious group. The orchestral highlights of the year were the fine performances given at the annual Christmas concert, and in a concert with Lansdowne. Mary Behrens, cellist, and Bess Reynolds, violist, represented the Purple and Gold in the All-State Orchestra. Mary also appeared as soloist with the orchestra in a radio broadcast. Mr. Haupt claims that the outstanding work of this season's orchestra can be attributed to the intensive musical program begun in community grade schools. Fortyeight Popular Director Robert Doane ready to give the signal for his band to swing into action; rehearsal indoors for the band, a welcome change from marching on the field in cold weather. Because of the innovations brought about by its conscientious con- ductor, Robert A. Doane, the band has become one of the most respected organizations in the school. The near-perfection of the color guard, the snap of- the drum majorettes, and the euphony of the band itself were the result of long hours of practice under the critical eye of Mr. Doane. The band proved its worth many times throughout the year ... at pep rallies and football games ... at the two concerts with Lansdowne . . . and at the University of Pennsylvania band competition. The band's capable officers for the ’48-'49 season were Kenny Brier, Steve Kinsley, Ida Mae Chambers, and Walt Desiderio, serving as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively.

Kathryn Forbes' I Remember Mama, recently a popular movie, was a smash-hit when presented on the Royal stage in November. The cast spent long hours perfecting a hard-to-handle Norwegian accent, while the stage crew struggled with countless lighting, timing, and set-changing problems. Costumes and properties, typical of the nineteenth century, lent an air of authenticity to the production. The publicity committee managed to sell out the house both nights. Miss Frieda E.

March 25 and 26. Miss Frieda E. Reed, dramatics coach, and Miss Maisie Weil, stage director claim that this was probably one of the most costly plays ever presented on the Royal stage. Added expenses were incurred through the rental of fifteen men's costumes and through the purchase of material for the women's cos- tumes. Publicity for the play was exceptionally fine and successful, for the juniors drew large crowds both nights. Top: Richard Corvcll, Judy Seiver, Ronald Kline, Barclay Cale, Calvin Rcnsch.

ALL-SCHOOL The fifth annual All-School Show culminated weeks of grueling rehearsals and excitement on the part of a cast of over 300 students. All acts were welded to fit the general theme of “Out of This World,” with the action supposedly taking place on the Milky Way. Pianist Gene Magowan, who had been overwhelm- ingly elected as Miss Starbound by schoolmates after auditions in class assemblies, opened the show with her rendition of a medley of George Gershwin hits. Dance routines, vocal selections, skits, a contortionist act and a magic show followed, all gaining the plaudits of the enthusiastic audience. Gremlins served as emcees, with John Harkins and Warren Grupe officiating as star pilot Gremlins. Bob Hotchkiss and Dave Stamper acted as assistants. The production was under the direction of Miss Emma Sommerfield. The backdrop for the show was particularly good and very much in keeping with the theme. It featured a gremlin sitting on the moon, surrounded by stars and planets with a blue background. Kneeling: Brown, Matlack, McIntyre, I.enham. Standing: Hol- land, Hall, Short, Pearson, Hocdt.

SHOW 1 0 0 Fifty-five May Day was a long-awaited day for Upper Darby stu- dents, their friends, and the many visitors who witness the festiv- ities each year. It was a day of beauty and color, and friendly rivalry—the climax of the Purple and Gold color contest. Up until this year, the Golds have been leading with eleven contests under their belts, while the Purples have won nine. As the ceremony began, the air was fi led with a contagious excitement. Leaders and color captains hurried back and forth, in an attempt to keep their files in some semblance of order before the drill began. The highlight of the ceremony was the coronation of lovely May Queen, Ellie Unger, who was crowned by last year's Queen, Frances Carans. The May Queen and her court, which consisted of ten senior girls, were selected to preside over the festivities by preferential balot in senior assembly. Follow- ing the coronation, there was the traditional Maypole dance with the dancers weaving bright ribbons into colorful patterns as they danced 'round and 'round the Maypole. The entire stu- dent body performed a rhythmic drill, the result of many long weeks of conscientious practice in the gym classes. Following the ceremony and the dril, were various games, relays and contests which determined the outcome of the annual color contest. The dazzling sunshine, the flowers, the gay colors, the air of excitement, the rivalry, the Queen and her court all brought to a close the Purple and Gold rivalry of 1948-49.

Is 0 5 CLUBS PAN-AMERICAN CLUB One of the larcest clubs that Upper Darby boasts, the Pan-American Club is ably sponsored by Mr. Clugston. At the monthly meetings are featured movies, songs, and displays of curios brought from Latin American countries. In addition, there are the annual spell- ing contest and the skits directed by individual Spanish teachers and their classes. LATIN CLUB Under the able leadership of its spon- sor, Miss Lucille Noble, the Latin Club has undertaken an ambitious program this year. In addition to the regular monthly programs of songs, games, and other entertainment, a trip to the Phila- delphia Museum and Planetarium was made. To terminate the season a large Roman type banquet took place in April. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais, sponsored by Miss Mary Taylor and Miss Charlotte Chris- man, sent a special donation to CARE for the support of a French war orphan early this year. At each club meeting a different section of France was discussed. Puppet plays, musical selections, and movies were also used as program ma- terial. CLUBS BOYS’ BOWLING GIRLS’ BOWLING RIFLE CLUB Charles Bjorkland, Jack Cavanaugh, Tom Oulahan, Carl Ruckert, captain; and Jack and Tom Waddington com- prised Upper Darby’s championship bowling team. The boys walked off with the coveted Bulletin Trophy in the city championship games. The Bowling Club has engaged in inter-team matches at the Playhouse Wednesday afternoons. Mr. William C. Geyer is club adviser. Under the capable supervision of Miss Ruth Breese, the Girls’ Bowling Club practices every Thursday afternoon at the Playhouse. The purpose of the club is to develop sportsmanship and a high competitive spirit, as well as to improve the bowling average of its members. The club's social highlight is a dinner given at the close of the school year, at which time the officers for the following term are announced. A team from Upper Darby’s Rifle Club once again snagged first place hon- ors in the National Rifle Association contest. All club members meet weekly to practice the handling of firearms. Each spring, club members compete for the cup awarded by the faculty. Mr. Charles Wood is the popular and competent ad- viser. CLUBS G LEEUWENHOEK The Leeuwenhoek Club, under the leadership of club sponsor, Mr. Floyd Neff, visited Temple University Medical School, where the members were escorted through the entire building. Members of the club also presented talks, and gave demonstrations with the microscope at their bimonthly meetings, and Mr. Low er acted as guest speaker on two occa sions. FIRST AID-SOCIAL SERVICE The First Aid-Social Service Club, one of the most active in the school, is responsible for the infirmary during Mrs. Wolstenholme's absence. During the past year, the members attended a tea given at Haverford, which they returned in April. They toured the Fitzgerald'Mercy Hospital and also the Elwyn School, and provided a Christmas party for the chib dren of St. Vincent's Home. HIPPOCRATES In the early part of the term new members of the Hippocrates club gave talks concerning the various phases of medicine and hospital work. The major group projects were trips to the Phila- delphia General and Pennsylvania Hos- pitals, with club adviser Miss Emma Sommerfield in charge. Sixty n CLUBS V VISUAL AID The Visual Aid Club, under the lead' ership of Mr. Vaughn Smith, performs a great service to UD by training stu- dents to operate visual aid equipment. Not only do club members set up and run equipment in UD classrooms, but they render this service to outside organi- zations as well. TERRAQUA Under the leadership of club presi- dent, Bob Hauslein, Terraqua has spent an eventful year. The bimonthly meet- ings were highlighted by the interesting talks pertaining to biology that were given by prospective members. Terraqua was featured on television in an experi- mental series of programs, and Mr. George Lower, club sponsor, acted as instructor. 1 STEINMETZ SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY The Steinmetz Scientific Society, spon- sored by Mr. Ivan E. Culver, is com- posed of students interested in physical science. The bi-weekly meetings usually feature a student speaker, whose topic is of his own choosing. This year the club included on its agenda a trip to the American Telephone and Telegraph Laboratories and the Franklin Institute. Sixtyone CLUBS mm LIBRARY The Library Club, under the dircc- tion of Miss Ruth Bassett, devotes its time and efforts to work in the library.

The net proceeds went to the infirmary fund. WORLD AFFAIRS FORUM Assembly programs, a radio show, and a panel discussion dealing with the topic of national health insurance were pre- sented in February and March by World Affairs Forum members John Harkins, Carolyn Kildare, Elinor Parry and Ed Thoma. It has closely cooperated with the community Town Meeting programs. Club adviser is Mr. Paul Coffey. Sixtythree CLUBS 2 A ° O ?! oi GERMAN Besides sharing letters received from pen-pals, German Club activities in- cluded a Christmas play and party, which featured the proverbial Santa Claus. Club members transformed the teachers' lunch-room into a German res- taurant with menus printed in German, chamber music, and food eaten European style, all part of the atmosphere. A club picnic, planned by sponsor Miss Agnes Grunberg, has been scheduled for June. FENCING The Fencing Club, under the guidance of Mr. Randolph Grimmctt, has partici- pated in three inter-school matches. Com- petitors included Girard College, North- east High School, and Ardmore Junior High School. The club practiced in the school cafeteria each Tuesday, using the equipment donated to the club during the past season by a former member. Sixty-four A DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Trips to several local business estab- lishments, including nearby dairies and the Penn Fruit Company, gave Distribu- tive Education Club members an insight into what lies ahead in the business world. The club al profits from actual working experience. It is under the supervision of Mr. Joseph Rhilc. BEAUX ARTS Members of Beaux Arts helped a great deal with the painting of scenery for the All-School Show under the cap- able guidance of Miss Kingsley. They also made posters for the many different activities which went on around school during the year. “Artist of the Week” was selected weekly by the club’s presi- dent, Jean Weinert—anyone in the school being eligible for this title.

This year Upper Darby had. according to the scorcbooks, the most miserable season in its history. Although the team scored only three touchdowns all year, and lost every game, Upper Darby had a good football team. Very seldom has a team had the spirit and the enthusiasm that our '49 team displayed. Our team? The student body proved the authenticity of that phrase. Upidites cheered and sang, shouted and screamed to the very end, despite numerous defeats. This year, for the first time. Coach Fred Loeb and his assistant Joseph E. Rhile, used the T-formation. Although they agreed that it was the finest ground-gaining formation they ever tried, they also recognized the need for a good passer. Despite the fact that the team was inexperienced and had few reserves, it gave its utmost, and proved itself a hard-fighting, hard-hitting aggregation.

Lansdowne 14 12 Abington 14 6 Lower Morion 14 0 Cheater 6 6 Showing a definite improvement over the preceding year, the Junior Varsity Football squad lost three of its four games and tied the last one. Despite this discouraging record, the Jayvees bet- tered last year's record of four losses, all of which were by much more decisive margins. Moreover, Coaches Carson J. Thompson and Paul A. Coffey probably had the most inexperienced team ever to come to the school. Only four boys from the squad of thirty had ever played football on any team before. Therefore, a great deal of credit can be given Mr. Coffey and Mr. Thompson for taking these boys and working them into a team as good as they were. The Jayvee gridders elected a captain for each game, and then elected Bob Hauslcin. end, as captain for the year. Besides Hauslein, Jack Henn turned in a sterling performance at center throughout the season as did Jack McClernon at quarterback. Next year, with Eddie Allen and Robert Hartman as additions to the school's coaching staff, and with the successful teams at the Junior High School, the Junior Varsity Football Squad should show a tremendous surge.

In the annual Purple and Gold color competition, the Golds came out on top by a slim margin. , Royal hooters proved their spunk and fibre when they handed a hard-to-bcat Lower Merion squad a 5-3 shellacking. Previous to this the Aces had enjoyed two undefeated years of league competi- tion. Junior Joe Milligan was voted the most valuable soccer player of the year by his teammates. This honor was bestowed upon him because of his stellar soccer playing, his good sportsmanship, and his enthusiastic team spirit. In addition to the recognition accorded him at UD, Joes five tallies won him the title of outstanding scorer in the suburban league. He also held down a berth on the All-Suburban soccer team, and merited honorable mention on the mythical All- Scholastic team.

At the end of the regular season, the team took first place honors in the Marcus Hook Invitation Meet. This year's team, built around a nucleus of four letter men, was nicely supported by newcomer Bob Bedard. Bedard, Duncan, and Armold ran one, two, and three in most of the races. At the close of the season, Doug Duncan was elected most valuable man. CROSS COUNTRY Left: Bob Bedard—the novice race trophy—and a «nile of victory! Center: Royals take a sprint around the track.

District One Championship. Since 1940 UD's jayvees have won seven of eight subur- ban championships and have made a clean sweep of every district championship. During these years eight Royal jayvee individual champions have been crowned in an unbroken string of victories. In 48 dual meets the junior warriors haw won 39, 25 of them by perfect scores. Under Coach Peter Bernardino's capable direction, the jayvee team matched the varsity this year in winning all five dual meets. More remarkably, Bernardino's Bombshells blasted the opposition with perfect scores, except in the Norristown meet. The District Championship was won by the sensationally low score of 18, almost a shut-out. Cham- pion Dick Tarleton led his team mates to the chute. The Bombshells of '48 arc expected to create a good nucleus for next year's varsity team, swept bare of material by graduation. JAYVEE CROSS COUNTRY iL. Opp. UJ .

HOCKEY The 1949 jay vee hockey score books showed that the Royals shellacked four of their eight opponents, tied one, and dropped three contests. Probably the most exciting jay vee game of the year was against the Lower Mcrion hockeyettes. Both teams battled for a tally, but the superlative defensive play of both squads made this impossible, and the contest ended in a scoreless tic. The primary aim of maintaining this second team is to prepare lower classmen for future varsity positions by giving them actual playing experience, as well as rule and technique knowledge. Miss E. Virginia Bosler coached both the jay vee and varsity squads this year. Pudge Eichner, captain of the jay vee team, was the all- time high scorer with a total of six counters. Miss Bosler expects to turn out a top-notch team next season because of the large number of returning letter-winners.

The jayvee basketball squad had a rather unimpressive record this season. The team finished with a slate of five wins and twelve losses in seventeen contests. Coach Joseph E. Rhile had a difficult task in finding a winning combination at the beginning of the season. This was due largely to the inexperience of the squad, since there were no holdovers from last year. However, in the middle of the season the combination of Clyde Fleagle, Bud Haabestad, Gene Harris, George Meyers, and George Sensenig began to click and managed to win four of five games at the end of the season. George Scnscnig, who was elected captain at the season's close, was high scorer with eighty-one points. George Meyers and Gene Harris were close on his heels with seventy-seven and seventy-five markers respectively. Harris scored fifteen points in the Bristol game, which was the highest amount scored by one player in a single contest.

Junior Ann Hurley proved to be high scorer with a total of 37 points, and was closely followed by sophomore Pat Lewis, who racked up 26 points. Most of the jay vec players were lower classmen who will return to UD next year. These letter-winners will probably supplant the out-going varsity or continue in jay vee positions. Mrs. Ann Westervelt, varsity basket- ball coach, also supervised the jay vee team. Dot Winner and Barbara Huebner served as managers.

BASKETBALL The Royalette basketball squad finished the '49 season with a total of two victories and five defeats. Captain Ellie Unger was the sole remaining member of last year's varsity squad, so practice and drill filled many after school hours for the team. Under the able supervision of basketball coach Mrs. Ann Westervelt. the Royalettes displayed unusually fine teamwork and good sportsmanship. Jeanne Inglis served as team manager and junior Dottie Wiltshire copped the role of high scorer with 5 3 points. This year's squad included Shirley Haabe- stad, Diana Leary, Dottie Wiltshire, Courtney Len- hard, Patsy Cook, Peggy Hcacock, Audrey Cale, Nora Trumbowcr, and Ellie Unger. Five of these girls will return to the hill next year. Junior Diana Leary will pilot the '49-'50 basketball team. Diana Leary getting the jump, as Gerry Brown await —in the Yeadon game.

Once again Royal grap- piers walked off with District I wrestling crowns and the district championship. The four boys garnering this victory for the Purple and Gold were Van Lee, Tom Malcolm, Britt Palmer, and Bob Williams. This was the fourth time in five years UD snagged District I honors. UD matmen dropped a close decision to Haverford and wound up in a 19-19 deadlock with Abington at the start of the season. All other meets went down on the win column in the score books. The four District I champs lost in the state competition, despite their gallant efforts to “bring home the bacon.” Co-Captain Stan Engle giving Bob Long of Haverford a hard tussle; Co-Captain Van Lee, District I champ, tear- ing into an opponent in the Cheltenham meet. RIFLE This year, under the capable leadership of Mr. Charles Wood, the Royal Rifle Team once more completed a brilliant, undefeated and untied season. The number of consecutive wins has been stretched to 51 over the past three years. By defeating the alumni 496 to 489 in their first match of the season, the riflers started their winning streak which lasted the entire season. Upper Darby retired the District I trophy by winning the Southeastern Pennsylvania championship for the third consecutive year. The mixed rifle team went on to win the sectional title in the National Rifle Associations championships at Drexel Institute. To this already lengthy list of honors, the Royal Riflers added the eastern Pennsylvania division of the PIAA title by downing Manhcim 498 to 488. During the year, the team has shot four perfect scores, two in shouldcrtoshoulder matches and two in postal matches. The outstand' ing riflers of the season were Fred Forsythe with an average score if 99.8, Jim Swartz who averaged 99.7, and Virginia Hounscl averaging 99.6 for the season.

Jerry Lomax thinks the water feels fine. r The 1948-49 swimming team has completed the season with a disappointing record of one win and five defeats. Coach Herbert S. Herzog hopes that the underclassmen have gained in experience from these meets, so that next year's squad may be better trained and its record more impressive. Captained by Jim Pusey, the Mermen dropped contests to Coatesvillc, Pottstown, Norristown, Abington, and lost a heart-breaker to West Chester. The Finmen did an about face, however, when they trounced Eddystone. The Purples were victorious in the annual Purple and Gold swimming meet. Jack Wark, junior, and Jim Pusey, senior, were the high scorers for the season. Seniors Hobart Dietz and John Metz, and junior Bryant Heston were also high in the scoring column. Next year Mr. Herzog is definitely counting on Jack Henn, Jerry Lomax, Bryant Heston, and Jack Wark to rack up honor points for the glory of UD Mermen. SWIMMING SCHEDULE Opp. V.D.

Under their coach Carson J. Thompson, the team has won four out of their first nine games. During the Easter vacation, the annual Purple and Gold game was played, the victory going to the Golds. Mr. Thompson is relying on such players as Gene Prevail, Bob Kurz, Leon Pappa, and Jack Hawkins to be definite factors in winning ball games. Gene Prevail, to date, seems to be the most effective pitcher on the team. Gene pitched a wonderful five hit shutout against Lower Merion. He also has a win over Lansdowne. There was a good turnout for all positions when the call for boys was made. After careful selection, Coach Thompson feels that he has a team with great potentialities.

It would be hard to find a group of boys or girls who had the same love of sport as did our junior varsity baseball squad. This eager and cooperative spirit was due in part to the team's friendly and prudent coach, Pete Bernardino. Consisting of all sophomores, the squad played a few games to get organized, and to weld itself into a team. Moreover, working sophomores into fine players, required ex- pert coaching and patience, both of which Coach Bernardino was a master. Many of the varsity stars broke in on the jay vee squad, and already this year a number of jay vee players have shown great potentialities. Ehlers and Carr were exceptionally outstanding on the pitching mound, while Kennedy and Marhefha shone in fielding. Coach Bernadino is very optimistic about the future of his jay vee boys.

BASEBALL Haverford Away This year's boys' tennis squad was fortunate enough to have two coaches, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Kehl to help mold the group into a promising team. Captain Harry Hamer and Don Grigsby were the only returning letter men, all others being virtually inexperienced. The team is made up chiefly of lower classmen, some of whom show potentialities. As this edition of the Oak goes to press, the chances of U.D. ranking high in the District seem very slim.

Home Haverford Home By winning 7 out of 11 matches in 1948, the Royal' cttes concluded their most successful season since before the war. From the fall tryouts, 17 girls were selected for the squad. Junior Shirley Haabestad, elected captain by her teammates, is the only returning varsity player for this year. Shirley is the first junior to captain a girls' tennis team in many years. The nucleus of the team is composed of juniors and sophomores; and sophomore Dottie Smoker, who ranks fourth in the Middle Atlantic States, holds the position of first singles. This year, by a score of 3 to 2, the team defeated Norristown, winner of last year's league championship and undefeated for the season. According to coach Paul Schwartz, this inexperienced team shows much promise and is very enthusiastic. INTRA Many Upper Darby students have an interest in sports but are not able to make the varsity and junior varsity teams. The intramural system, under the guidance of Mr. Herzog, Mrs. Wes- tervclt, and Miss Bosler, includes hockey for girls, soccer for boys, basketball for both boys and girls, and baseball for both boys and girls. The girls' sports teams are selected from the girls' gym classes. The schedule is arranged so that the champion team of each class is determined by elimination. The class winners compete to deter' mine the school champions. The class champions receive their numerals. The boys' intramural sys' tern is formed by home rooms playing alone or combining with other home rooms. Each mem' ber of the class championship team receives his numerals. One team may continue throughout the year or different teams may be formed for each sport both among the boys and the girls. In addition to providing valuable recreation, the in' tramural program encourages good sportsmanship under keen competition. Intramural game with players from left to right: Ed Roman.

CLASS Miss Weimer, Howard Halleit, Bill Dougherty, Eleanor Unger, John Harkins and Mr. Noel exulting over Senior Play ticket returns. There are so many things we'll never forget about Mr. Paul K. Noel, our class adviser ... the way he would playfully toss a forbidden snowball . . . his barrage of witty remarks that were part of each Friday's assembly ... the flashbulb camera he so often sported ... the pains he took in helping us to formulate future plans ... the smiling hellos ... the frequent chuckles ... his sparkling person- ality . . the countless things that helped to make him our confidant and friend. From our sophomore year he has guided us and worked with us, giving unselfishly of his time and of himself. He has been to us a smiling, fun-loving man, who will make our graduation a little less of triumph and a little more of regret. J inctyeif,ht ADVIS FRANCES F. WEIMER Faithfully attending executive committee meetings . . . rushing out to buy food for the senior play cast . . . blowing balloons and hanging streamers with party committee members in prepara tion for the Senior Carnival . . . always offering to help fellow faculty members and students . . . interviewing senior girls about their future plans with the warmth and friendliness that are so charac' teristic of her—these are qualities of class adviser Miss Frances E. Weimcr which have won the hearts of all upperclassmen. Although she has been our class adviser for only one year she has taken upon herself a great burden of responsibility, for this year has been the most eventful of our high school careers. Miss Nan Scott, now on sabbatical leave, guided us through our first two years on the hill with a quiet efficiency and pleasant smile. NAN M. SCOTT Our debt of gratitude to those members of our class who have officiated as class officers is tre- mendous. The bulk of responsibility during the past two years has been placed on the shoulders of capable John Harkins, whose work has not been limited simply to class activities, but he has been a member of Hi-Y, the Executive Committee, Student Council, and president of World Affairs Forum and the Stein- mets Scientific Society. A varsity letter in soccer was also among his many accomplishments. Howard Hal- lett, major sports figure in UD, was class president as a sophomore and vice-president during his senior year. Ellie Unger completed three years as class secre- tary. During this period she has been best-known for her sports activities—basketball and hockey rank- ing high in this category. She has also been elected Most Versatile girl in her class and was given the coveted honor of May Queen. Treasurer Bill Dougherty has handled the class money bags this year. In addition to this. Bill was on the varsity football squad, was a member of the choral club, and was elected Best Looking in his class. CLASS OFFICERS One Hundred Bill Dougherty, Treasurer; Howard Hallctt, Vice-Presi- dent; John Harkins, President; Eleanor Unger, Secretary. SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Who manages the senior class finances, and just about everything else involving upperclassmen? The senior executive committee, of course. This group, which meets every Wednesday, is composed of rep- resentatives from each senior home room, the class officers, and the class advisers. The responsibilities of the executive committee arc numerous, but prime among these are drawing up the schedule of senior assemblies, selecting the class gift, and making arrangements for dances and parties. In addition to their duties, this year's exec- utive committee has added a list of other services, including selling refreshments at football games. This year's committee has been an unusually good one. The students have worked harmoniously and vigorously in promoting all projects for which they have been responsible. Sealed: Ann Matlack, Irene Schweitzer, Joanne Webster, Howard Hallctt, John Harkins, Eleanor Unger, William Dougherty, Nancy Pearson, Carolyn Kildare, Edna Wil- son. Standing: William Hirsch, Don Lenz, Sam Ertel, Patsy Cook, Carol Brunner, Helen Conard, Lloyd Hart- sough, Clark Conon, Bob Benedict, Stanley Engle. SERVICE Eleanor Unger, Howard Hallett, Gene Magowan, Henry Dimmlcr, Diana Cavallo, John Harkins. Each year the seniors honor six members of their class, three boys and three girls, by placing their names on the service plaque which was donated to the school by the class of 1933. These are the people who have proven to be out' standing in the many different phases of school life—namely, music, dramatics, sports, publications, class functions, student government, and numerous other activities. These people have shown themselves to be worthy of this coveted honor by giV ing unselfishly of their time and talents to the furthering of the traditions handed down from the past. They saw things that had to be done and were ever ready to lend a helping hand. The class of 1949 is justly proud of its members who were chosen for this high honor. It is the best way that we know to thank them for all of their help during our three years of high school life. They arc sure to succeed in every- thing that they do. We would like to extend to them our hearty thanks for their many jobs well done. One Hundred Two SCHOLARSHIP Today more than ever before it is increasingly important to main tain a high scholastic record in high school. That is exactly what these six members of the graduating class have accomplished. Not only have they proven their capability in scholastic achievement but in their invaluable service to the school as well. Through their conscientious efforts maintained throughout four years of high school, they have come forward to attain the most coveted award bestowed by Upper Darby upon any of its sons and daughters. These six students will have the honor of seeing their names engraved on one of the plaques which flanks the front entrance of the building. This plaque, plus the Service plaque, was donated to the school by the Classof '33 with the stipula- tion that the honor be given only to those students who have attended Upper Darby for three years. The Class of ’49 in extending hearty congratulations, hopes that their achievement will set an example for the future graduates of Upper Darby. George Dawkins.
